Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a food container. More specifically, the present invention relates to an apparatus for adhering a seal to a food container.
  • U.S. Patent No. 5,251,758 issued October 12, 1993 to Kolacek entitled FOOD CONTAINER WITH GRIPPABLE PORTION HAVING SENSE OF TOUCH INDICA shows an example of a food- containing cup having a seal.
  • the container should be compact and easy to produce and distribute.
  • a cup formed of cardboard is an example of a container which is typically used to contain food products, such as ice cream.
  • the cardboard cup must be hermetically sealed.
  • the seal should be easy for the consumer to remove. Further, it is desirable to provide a seal which shows evidence of tampering.
  • FIG. 1 is a cross-sectional view of a container and film membrane application in accordance with the present invention.
  • FIG. 2 is a cross-sectional view of the apparatus of FIG. 1 showing a subsequent step in the membrane application process.
  • FIG. 3 is a cross-sectional view of the apparatus of FIG. 1 showing a subsequent step in the membrane application process.
  • FIG. 4 is a cross-sectional view of the apparatus of FIG. 1 showing a subsequent step in the membrane application process.
  • FIG. 5 is an enlarged cross-sectional view of the container and sealing head shown in FIG. 3.
  • FIG. 6 is a top plan view of a cut membrane.
  • FIG. 7 is a cross-sectional view of a sealed container.
  • FIG. 1 is a cross-sectional view of a cup (container) 10 and film depositing apparatus 12.
  • Depositing apparatus 12 includes a film membrane applicator 14 and cup holder 16.
  • Cup 10 is a container for containing food. In a preferred embodiment, cup 10 is used to contain ice cream, however, cup 10 can be used to contain other foods such as yogurt, dairy and non-dairy products, both frozen and non-frozen.
  • a film membrane seal is used to seal the top of cup 10. The film membrane is recessed within cup 10 leaving headroom between the seal and the zop of the cup.
  • FIGS. 1-4 show a sequence of steps performed by apparatus 12 to apply a film membrane seal to cup 10.
  • Membrane applicator 14 includes sealing head 18, upper knife 20, upper membrane clamp 22, lower membrane clamp 24, holding ring 26 and retaining ring 28. O-ring 29 is carried on upper membrane clamp 22. Seal head 18 fits in an opening through upper knife 20, upper membrane clamp 22, lower membrane clamp 24, holding ring 26 and retaining ring 28 and into the top opening of cup 10. Sealing head 18 is coupled to drive element 30 through drive rod 32. Drive element 30 may comprise, for example, a piston assembly for urging sealing head 18 downward into cup 10.
  • Membrane film 34 is a web which is carried on rollers 36 and 38 and pulled through applicator 14 in the direction shown by the arrow.
  • film membrane 34 is moved into position by rollers 36 and 38. Sealing head 18 is urged downward into cup 10 to seal film from membrane 34 to the interior of cup 10.
  • Membrane film 34 is cut with upper knife 20 and holding ring 26. The diameter of cup 10 is smaller than the diameter of membrane 34 cut by knife 20 and holding ring 26. The cut membrane 34 is identified as 34a. Holder 26 prevents membrane 34a from curling after cutting. Film 34a is picked up by head 18 as head 18 moves downward. The diameter of head 18 is also smaller than the diameter of cut membrane 34a. The excess portion of membrane 34a extending beyond the edges of head 18 wraps around the sides of sealing head 18 and is sealed to the inner wall of cup 10.
  • FIG. 2 is similar to FIG. 1 and shows a subsequent step in the operation of apparatus 12 during application of membrane 34a to cup 10.
  • FIGS. 2-4 do not show the rollers and drive mechanism shown in FIG. 1.
  • FIG. 2 shows membrane film 34 just prior to cutting by upper knife 20 and holding ring 26. Film 34 is held by upper membrane clamp 22 and lower membrane clamp 24. Clamps 22 and 24 and knife 20 and holding ring 26 are pushed together by drive elements 30 and 44. O-ring 29 presses against film 34 and holds film 34 in place while it is cut by upper knife 20 and holding ring 26. Following the cutting of film 34 by upper knife 20 and holding ring 26, sealing head 18 is pushed downward by drive element 30 and drive rod 32 through retaining ring 28 and into cup 10.
  • membrane 34 comprises product number E.16978.93 which is available from American National Can of Minneapolis, Minnesota.
  • Membrane 34 has a strong shape memory and tends to return to its original shape, a roll. Sealing head 18 is rapidly forced downward thereby preventing membrane 34 from curling back into its original shape.
  • retaining ring 28 provides an outer circumference through which head 18 travels and causes the outer edge of cut membrane 34a to form a lip (not shown in FIG. 2) around the outer circumference of head 18. This lip is sealed against the inner wall of cup 10 in a subsequent step.
  • FIG. 3 shows sealing head 18 in its extended most position in which the rim of head 18 presses against the inner wall of cup 10.
  • the rim of head 18 includes a heating element 39 (shown in FIG. 5) which raises the temperature of head 18 to between 240° F and 300° F.
  • Heating element 39 shown in FIG. 5
  • Membrane 34 is a thermoplastic including an adhesive. The heat from sealing head causes film 18 to be sealed against the inner wall of cup 10. If the sealing head is too hot, membrane 34 becomes fused to cup 10. Such a bond is difficult to remove and tears away the lamination of cup 10.
  • the rim of head 18 has a rounded edge. This rounded edge allows air trapped in cup 10 to escape while sealing head 18 moves downward into cup 10. This prevents excess air build-up within cup 10 which can cause membrane seal 34 to bulge or the seal to be broken.
  • FIG. 4 shows sealing head 18 after it is retracted from cup 10 by drive element 30.
  • Sealed membrane 34a seals the top surface opening of cup 10.
  • Sealing membrane 34a includes an outer lip which is sealed against the inner wall of cup 10.
  • Drive elements 42 and 44 are shown retracted in FIG. 4 thereby separating upper membrane clamp 22 and lower membrane 24, freeing cut membrane film 34.
  • rollers 36 and 38 rotate thereby moving membrane film 34 through applicator 14.
  • sealing head 18 As sealing head 18 is retracted from cup 10, a vacuum may form between head 18 and sealed membrane 34a. Vent holes 50 in sealing head 18 are used to vent this vacuum. Additionally, if cup 10 sticks to sealing head 18 as sealing head 18 is retracted, retaining ring 28 holds cup 10 while sealing head 18 is extracted from cup 10. Cup 10 is then free to drop into holder 16.
  • the sealing process shown in steps 1-4 takes less than 0.4 seconds. This high speed also helps prevent membrane 34 from curling after it has been cut by upper knife 20 and holding ring 26.
  • holder 16 moves on a conveyor system (not shown) which carries numerous cups 10 for sealing by applicator 14. This provides very high speed operation.
  • FIG. 5 shows a more detailed view of cup 10 and sealing head 18.
  • Cup 10 includes inner wall 80 against which sealed membrane 34a is sealed.
  • Membrane 34a includes an outer lip 82 which is sealed against inner wall 80.
  • Sealing head 18 includes rim or lip 84 and rim or lip 86. Lips 84 and 86 provide two sealing points between membrane 34a and cup 10. Two sealing points provide a tight seal which is easily removed by a consumer. Both rims 84 and 86 are heated by heating elements 39 (shown as electrical resistors) to provide the seal.
  • Cup 10 includes cup rim 88 which presses against retaining ring 28 when sealing head 18 is removed. Further, cup rim 88 is held by cup holder 16 while sealing head 18 is forced into cup 10.
  • the film membrane of the present invention is cheaper than cardboard or other types of preformed inserts used to seal cup 10. Further, the rounded edges of rims 84 and 86 allow the escape of trapped air from cup 10.
  • the sealed membrane 34a is substantially leakproof and shows evidence of tampering should the seal be broken.
  • the recessed seal provides head space which can be used for distribution of items with the food product. For example, the head space can be used to contain a spoon or a coupon.
  • the double seal provides a hermetic seal while still being easily removed. Adhesive carried on membrane 34 forms a bead which flows due to the heat during the application process.
  • FIG. 6 shows a top plan view of a cut seal membrane 34a prior to insertion into cup 10.
  • Membrane 34a includes an outer lip 82 and a tab 90. Outer lip 82 is folded upwards when membrane 34a is inserted into cup 10. This fold is formed when seal head 18 pushes membrane 34a through ring 28. Outer lip 82 is sealed against inner wall 80 of cup 10. Tab 90 is also folded upward and extends over rim 88 of cup 10. A consumer can remove membrane 34a from cup 10 by pulling on tab 90.
  • FIG. 7 shows membrane 34a after having been sealed to cup 10.
  • Cover 92 can be placed over cup 10 to provide head space between cover 92 and membrane 34a.
  • Figure 7 shows item 96 carried in the space between cover 92 and membrane 34a.
  • Item 96 is an item to be distributed with cup 10 such as a spoon, coupon or other item.
  • holder 16 may comprise a receptacle in a rotary table of a rotary sealing machine or a linear conveyor in a straight line sealing machine.
